I mentioned it elsewhere that I had been selected for promotion to Gunnery Sergeant.  Katie and my Commanding Officer pinned my new rank on me over the weekend.

So, in case Ken stops by, it is accepted practice to call me "Gunny."  (In the past I've berated Mr. Begg for referring to me as "Sarge.")

Congradulations! So are we now to call you Gunny, instead of Andrew?

Good job man, thats a big accomplishment.  One fella I knew said that was technically the highest rank in the corps, everyone else was just an advisor after that.   

Maybe we should call you Gundrew?  Gunhead? (ever seen this gem: http://imdb.com/title/tt0097410/ ) now I shall call you Gunny until you stop hitting me.

Good job!   :cheers:

I take it you got a decent pay raise.   :smile:
So are you planning to stay in the Marines and make a career out of it?
What ranks are above Gunnery Sgt.?

Congratulations, once again, Mr. Borntreger.

Congratulations Andrew  :cheers:

Does this mean you're like Jethro Gibbs from NCIS?  And does that mean you're a crack sniper as well?
